luggage
word
Definition
Bags, suitcases, and other items you carry when you travel. It is usually an uncountable noun, so we normally say 'some luggage' or 'a piece of luggage,' not 'a luggage'.
Usage & Nuances
Common in travel contexts like airports, hotels, and train stations. In everyday conversation, 'bags' is often more natural for specific items; 'luggage' sounds a bit broader or more travel-related. Don't confuse it with 'baggage'—both are possible, but 'baggage' can also mean emotional problems in figurative use.
